War on Ukraine and banned weapons

As much of the world is recovering from COVID mask mandates and just watching another Winter Olympics which is supposed to "cultivate human beings, through sport, and contribute to world peace", Russia invades Ukraine, starting major military conflict in Europe not seen since World War II! It has been 10 days and already lots of casuualties on both sides with brutal attacks on civilians. The world is saddened by the totally disastrous waste of thousands of lives and leaving countless destructions and millions seeking refugess.

Waita minute just what causes this? Please someone explain this in layman's terms. According to the under reported news, the 2nd command in the free world VP Kamala Harris says:

So, Ukraine is a country in Europe," Harris explains while speaking slowly. “It exists next to another country called Russia,” she continued. “Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for.

See here. I'll let you figure out what's wrong with this oversimplistic child-like explanation.

You can see the real reasons when you read news about their ceasefire discussions. So the real reason is Putin demands Ukraine not join NATO as he sees that as a threat. Russia wants Ukraine to not join NATO, de-militarize, "denazify". See here. And want to "amend its constitution to guarantee neutrality, formally cede Crimea to Russia, and recognize the independence of the Russian-backed breakaway republics in eastern Ukraine." See here.

Well those are not acceptible terms and fight will go on.

Russsia lost a lot of troops and military equpment (tanks, planes helicopters etc) and world wide sanctions would make it hard to fight a long war. Eventually Russia will just have to eventually give up.. after losing lots and lots of their troops. Putin definitely need to read up Sun Tzu's Art of War chapter 3 about attacking a castle like swarms of ants isn't a smart thing to do. But Sun Tzu could not dream of the devastating weapons of today 2000 years ago. Somebody in Russia need to detach Putin's nuclear button!

The Ukrainian president hope NATO to set up no-fly zone.. meaning to shoot down any Russian planes if they cross. But everyone is afraid to directly confront the most powerful nuclear power in the world, but not worried at all by providing other assistance such as weapons and humunitarian aide. And of course, the UN is useless to stop this conflict just like the League of Nations couldn't stop WWII. Uh hem, I am not saying this is becoming World War III, which I do not believe will happen. So Ukraine must fight on, NATO aren't sending troops either. But there are brave volunteers to help. Gosh and some of these brave people will probably be sacrificed.

Now in terms of numbers Russia definitely outnumber Ukraine in everything, from troops to tanks to aircrafts. So really should have no problem at all for invasion. But war is not just about numbers, it is about whether you get support from your people, resources allocation and transportations, will to fight, and geography and tactics. And about technology too. A drone with bombs can affectively kill many of you and you can't even detect.

Now the weapons, Russia of course face criticism of using devastation banned weapons like vacuum bomb and cluster bombs. Vacuum bombs pretty much fill a big area with gas and then blow up! No place to hide, it will tear your lungs and entire body apart. Cluster bombs contain little bombs with parachuts that don't blow up immediately. It can be discovered years later and blow you up. So they are "banned". Horrible horrible devastating weapons on civilian. But waita minute, is it not so horrible to shoot civilians with AK-47 and grendades? Geez, STOP KILLING CIVILIANS or STOP KILLING ANYBODY!

This horrible conflict will definitely end, just as every other conflicts. It will leave behind endless pain and sufferings and a new world. Putin will definitely lose. The world will not be the same again.
